I’m not a macroeconomist myself and so when I meet proper macro folk, I try to draw them on the topic of the day: how to stimulate the British economy. Should George Osborne reverse his tax rises and postpone his promised spending cuts? Or would any stimulus that resulted be lost in the turbulence of lost credibility and higher borrowing costs? With a ￡1.5tn economy, any stimulus spending that was big enough to make a difference should hardly be taken lightly. Hence my interrogation of any macroeconomist I could find.
我本人不是宏觀經濟學家，所以當遇到正牌宏觀經濟學界人士時，我會竭力把他們引向當前的熱門話題：如何提振英國經濟？喬治?奧斯本(George Osborne)是否應撤銷增稅并將其承諾的減支延后實施？或者，刺激經濟的政策是否會陷入信用下滑和舉債成本攀升的漩渦之中？對一個規模達1.5萬億英鎊的經濟體而言，任何數額高到足以產生重大影響的刺激性支出舉措都不應被草率采納。因此，我無論找到哪位宏觀經濟學家，都會向他詢問這類問題。
